Star Trek Online: Beam Me Up Already

If you’re not one of the devotees attached to the official community–yes, one already exists–for the as-yet-undated MMORPG Star Trek Online, you might not have seen much about the forthcoming game, and that means you can boldly go into this screenshot without any expectations.

And bam! It delivers… and by delivers, I mean beams your crew down into adventure galore. In Star Trek Online, every player will have their own ship and will be able to explore and fight in space and – as you can see – planetside via missions and other aspects of the game. You’ll even have NPC redshirts to sacrifice. What would a Star Trek universe be without some folks who are just slated to die?

Unfortunately, the only parameters we have on release are that it’s due sometime before 2012, which means it won’t be available soon enough.

Actually, they’ve said STO will certainly come out in 2010. There was even a banner expressing this at the Las Vegas ST convention :) But there have been many other examples. The ‘before 2012′ thing dates all the way back to the original announcement speech over a year ago. Heck, beta applications are already up.

There is further info to suggest that they are on pace for a Q1 release. The main thing here is that it was released in the company financial statement that STO would be released before March 31, 2010.
